Matt and Shannon met in the early spring of of 2014 and went on their first date at Dressel's pub in March 2014. They quickly bonded over their mutual loves of books, beers, and all things St. Louis. Before they knew it, they were going on more dates to tapas bars and art museums and telling their friends this may be "the one." Their love progressed, and in April of 2016 they moved into a tiny mouse-infested, 500 square foot apartment in Maplewood to truly put their relationship to the test, but alas, they survived for the better, and in July of 2016, Matt proposed on a bike ride in Forest Park (right after Shannon got a flat tire) at the spot where they had their third date. Despite the trip-up with the bikes, Shannon quickly and obviously said yes! Afterward, the two had a romantic dinner before celebrating the night away with family and friends. In March 2017, the two purchased a house and moved into the Southhampton neighborhood where they've been laying the roots for their future together. The obvious thing to come next is the big day! They can't wait to share their wedding day with you on December 2, 2017. Please enjoy our site for all details! Cheers to a lifetime of love, laughter, and happiness!
